Development of Macroporous Chitosan Scaffolds for Eyelid Tarsus Tissue Engineering

Emulsified Chitosan-plga Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

Cytocompatibility of Chitosan and Collagen-Chitosan Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering

In this work, chitosan and collagen-chitosan porous scaffolds were produced by the freeze drying method and characterized as potential skin substitutes. Their beneficial effects on soft tissues justify the choice of both collagen and chitosan. Samples were characterized using scanning electron microscope, Fourier Transform InfraRed Spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetry (TG). The in vitro cyt...

Three-dimensional macroporous graphene scaffolds for tissue engineering.

The assembly of carbon nanomaterials into three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds is critical to harness their unique physiochemical properties for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. In this study, we report the fabrication, characterization, and in vitro cytocompatibility of true 3D (>1 mm in all three dimensions), macroscopic (3-8 mm in height and 4-6 mm in diameter), ...

Three Dimensional Macroporous Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

Calcium phosphate ceramics are widely used as bone substitutes since they are biocompatible and bioactive. Having a chemical composition close to natural bone, calcium phosphate ceramics are promising bone substitute materials in orthopaedics, maxillofacial surgery and dentistry. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) are the most commonly used calcium phosphates, because their calc...
